This OP continues directly from OP 3d of this Series <- Link Here
OP 3d explains how we arrived at the Following Theological Theorem's that we are going to carry through Genesis 1 and 2First Theorem:
Father + Mother = Son (Spiritual Metaphor of Romantic Love that Creates)
Second Theorem:
Creator + Creation = LIFE
I'm a giant Nobody I assure you! What we are about to do is one of the most important things that can be done within scripture. When God does a thing, look for the prophetic implications within it, ALWAYS. Even though I'm a nobody, I think it's fair to say that this is simple Theological LOGIC. If God does a thing TWICE, we ought to be scrambling to find out what He is desiring us to SEEK OUT! God never desired to be understood on a shallow level. God left the BREAD crumbs to UNDERSTAND Him DEEPLY! So, without hesitation... I will avoid overstating this simple matter. When God leaves scripture behind that He does a specific thing more than twice... ITS a FOUR ALARM you should really meditate on, Pray about, ask the Holy Spirit's help to discern what God is revealing, within SCRIPTURE!
Here we go. The two Theorem's will be used together. We are going to look for DIVISION of things and UNIFICATION of things. It's pretty eye opening to say the least.
Genesis 1:3 Creator + Creation = (Light, Life)
"I am the Light and the Life"
Genesis 1:4 Creator - Creation = DarknessMatthew 6:22 The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness
Genesis 1:6 The Creator Distinguishes Creation as independent from Himself, though He is it's very source of life.Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion
Genesis 1:6 The Creator Fully Separates The Creation from Heaven1 Corinthians 2:9 However, as it is written: “What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived”—
the things God has prepared for those who love him—
10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit.
John 7:37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” 39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.
Genesis 1:6 Living Being - Ruach (Which Jesus calls Zoe in Aramaic) = Living Spiritual SoulEcclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was; and the spirit shall return to God who gave it
Life consists of Dust + Ruach = Living Spiritual Soul
In Ecclesiastes we see the Dust returns to the earth and the (Ruah) returns to God. This leaves the Living Spiritual Soul.
If you study out the Hebrew of this matter and go from the OT Hebrew to the NT Greek you will find that the NT reveals much more on this matter. Before we go there, we will look at a very interesting series of words laid out in Strong's, Concordance.
-Aramaic word Zoe: 2222 zōḗ – life (physical and spiritual). All life (2222 /zōḗ), throughout the universe, is derived – i.e. it always (only) comes from and is sustained by God's self-existent life. The Lord intimately shares His gift of life with people, creating each in His image which gives all the capacity to know His eternal life.
-Greek word Psucho - soul, life, self
From psucho; breath, i.e. (by implication) spirit, abstractly or concretely (the animal sentient principle only; thus distinguished on the one hand from pneuma, which is the rational and immortal soul; and on the other from zoe, which is mere vitality, even of plants: these terms thus exactly correspond respectively to the Hebrew nephesh, ruwach and chay) -- heart (+ -ily), life, mind, soul, + us, + you.
-Hebrew word Nephish - any, thyself, them your-selves, slay, soul, tablet, they, thing,
From naphash; properly, a breathing creature, i.e. Animal of (abstractly) vitality; used very widely in a literal, accommodated or figurative sense (bodily or mental) -- any, appetite, beast, body, breath, creature, X dead(-ly), desire, X (dis-)contented, X fish, ghost, + greedy, he, heart(-y), (hath, X jeopardy of) life (X in jeopardy), lust, man, me, mind, mortally, one, own, person, pleasure, (her-, him-, my-, thy-)self, them (your)-selves, + slay, soul, + tablet, they, thing, (X she) will, X would have it.
Hebrew word From muwth; death (natural or violent); concretely, the dead, their place or state (hades); figuratively, pestilence, ruin -- (be) dead((-ly)), death, die(-d).
- Greek word pneuma - spirit, ghost
From pneo; a current of air, i.e. Breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or figuratively, a spirit, i.e. (human) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, demon, or (divine) God, Christ's spirit, the Holy Spirit -- ghost, life, spirit(-ual, -ually), mind. Compare psuche.
- Hebrew word - Rapha
dead (3), departed spirits (4), spirits of the dead (1).
Job 26:5 “The ghosts of the dead tremble beneath the water, with its creatures.
Job 41:1 “Can you pull in Leviathan with a fishhook or tie down its tongue with a rope?
Now, why would all of this suddenly pour out in study? Because we are in Hebrews, which specifically starts in chapter one, the second verse as follows...
"But now, in the acharit-hayamim, he has spoken to us through his Son,"
acharit-hayamim "A term in Jewish theology that refers to events that will occur at the end of days, such as the coming of the Messiah, the afterlife, and the resurrection of the dead. This area of Jewish theology is known as Jewish eschatology."
In modern english translations, the term gets transliterated to "These Last Days"
Remember this verse?
Job 19:25 “But I know that my Redeemer lives,
that in the end he will rise on the dust;
26 so that after my skin has been thus destroyed,
then even without my flesh, I will see God.
27 I will see him for myself,
my eyes, not someone else’s, will behold him.
My heart grows weak inside me!
Hebrews is written to the Jews who have witnessed the Fulfillment of the OLD COVENANT! The FIRST coming of the Messiah was a direct fulfilment of what JEWS considered to be "THE LAST DAYS". There's a lot more to this in reference to the NEW COVENANT and the Literal People and Land of Jacob, but that is another day and another study.
As I'm doing this... it feels too personal. We will move on to Genesis 2. If you desire to see what the Holy Spirit seems to be revealing to you by reading Genesis 1 this way, it is a very interesting read, especially Genesis 2:7 Then the Lord God formed the man out of the dust from the ground and breathed the breath of life into his nostrils, and the man became a living being.
Dust + Breath of God = Unique Human Being (Autonomously Independent from the Will of God in Design)
NOW, this is where everything gets deep, rapidly!
Notice that God is physically manifest in Genesis 2? There's the SON!
Just as God created Creation, He is now placing Adam in the Garden of Eden and implying that Adam is capable of acting against God's Will. Not only does God imply this, but He commands Adam to NOT EAT FROM THE TREE of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. Aside from that single command... THE SKY AND BEYOND is available to Adam! Adam is now a picture of God, with infinite opportunity and choice in this NEW UNIVERSE, as we first met God, "Alone", yet at Peace with His unity of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. There are (is) Animals, Birds, Trees, Food, Water, Opportunity for Creativity beyond comprehension and all the like!
Now God reveals a thing to us, if we are looking. Why did God CREATE? Then, more specifically, Why did God Create Man who is Made in God's Likeness?
Don't take this verse lightly! God is revealing His precise reason for Creating! God desired fellowship, relationship, spiritual companionship!
Now, one of the greatest scriptural revelations is about to happen!
Genesis 2:21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to come over the man, and he slept.
Hebrews 2:14 "Therefore, since the children share flesh and blood, he himself likewise shared the same things, so that through death"
God took one of his ribs and closed the flesh at that place.
John 7:37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” 39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.
22 Then the Lord God made the rib He had taken from the man into a woman and brought her to the man.
The very Zoe is clearly contained within Adam's Rib. Not only this, but Just as God metaphorically "Gave Birth" to Creation LITERALLY by His Breath and Word, Eve is given life by the very ZOE which is now within Adam's Rib which LITERALLY came from HIS Body metaphorically as LIFE COMES from a Womb!
1 Corinthians 11:8,9 For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
God desired relationship with us before we were even Created!
Eve is Adam's BRIDE (WIFE)... and will BECOME ONE FLESH. God intended MANKIND to be HIS SPIRITUAL BRIDE!
Ephesians 5:28,29,30, 31 In the same way husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body.
Ephesians 5:28-31 "...just as Christ does the church, because we are members of his body. “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”
Remember this point?
- We discussed the very BEING of God? PT 2... <- Link Here We KNOW that God is the Groom and We are Brides in Faith that KNITS our Heart's directly to Him.
We have thoroughly evaluated this point! Next OP Pt. 3f will go about these final two points, however it turns out.
7. We will pictorially evaluate just how sacred and revered Mal'akh Ha Panim the Effulgence is
8.As always, you the reader will note that I move as the Spirit moves me through this opinionated flesh and I may or may not address these points in specific order.
See you there!
